17th February 1962
Saturday
Back to my old office this week (GCI = General Card Index) after being loaned over to Dividend Dept. I wouldn’t be surprised if the powers that be loaned me to somewhere else soon as GCI has so little work. By Tuesday I was sooooo… bored. I was supposed to be working on claims but very few of those so I was moved to section work. No section work all afternoon. Perhaps it was just as well as I had a bad headache. I felt as though I was in a daze. Maybe it is reaction from the smallpox jab?
Valentine’s Day on the 14th cheered me up when I received a card from Alan. He had also sent one to Jennifer, which was kind of him.
He received 2 cards and was puzzled when I was able to tell him honestly that it wasn’t me that had sent the second one. I knew it was from Pat and I had sent one to Robin. All part of our master plan to keep them wondering.
Wednesday 21st
I had only reading and knitting to keep me occupied over the past few days. Alan has a cold so haven’t seen him. I asked if he wanted lilies or orchids in his wreath. Poor thing was suffering so much – or thought he was!
